Customer Reviews

I read this book in about three days. I read for many hours at a time. I could not pull myself away from it. Well written. Sometimes sad but all the time pulling me into a story that was riveting. I was brought to tears. I was elated with the victories. This books stirs many emotions. I could not wait to be done to sent it to my daughter in another state (paid over $6.00 to mail priority). One simply has to read it to fully grasp how special this book is.

I read this book a while ago and still think it is an excellent and a must read for all ages. The book teaches you about many different aspects of the 'world that was' besides for 'wwII' lessons and the 'world after'.
I still ache for her as she unfortunately didn't meet her mother after the war and had so little time with her. She didn't give a name for her mother until she had a second daughter!
And the forced adoption!

From the moment I started, I could not wait to sneak away from work, kids and other every day duties in order to satisfy my quench for reading this unbelievably amazing and very well written book. It is a touching story that has left an impact on me and has helped put things in my everyday life into the proper proportions. As we get caught up in our daily lives, though we constantly hear recaps of the horrible atrocities of the Holocaust, we tend to forget the hardships that many people went through to survive that dreadful period. This story is a brilliantly detailed account of an extraordinary young lady who sees her survival as true merit. Kol Hakavod!

This is the most incredible story I have ever read and I have read a lot. The fact that the story is true and the afterword makes the story even more powerful. If you are going to read one story this year let this be the one. If any producer would get their hands on this novel it would become a famous movie with no doubt. I wish I could meet this author. I can't wait to read her other book. I am going to share this story with others who want to see G-d's hand. Thank you Fedlheim for making this story available to the English speaking public.

I am only 11 years old, but I went crazy for this book. I really wasn't able to put the book down after starting it. I finished it in 4 days because i was so attatched to the story, Leichu, and all the other characters. An extraordinary book.
